Flame and spark machines from various manufacturers have common or overlapping sets of effects, though the effects may be implemented by different DMX personalities on the different machines.  The Standard Effect IDs listed in Table 1 have the meaning defined in the table and exhibited by the reference fixture.  Finale 3D can convert effects in a show from one fixture to another ("fixture cloning") by replacing an effect from the "from" fixture with the corresponding effect of the "to" fixture, matching the Standard Effect ID.   Table 1 – Standard Effect IDs for flames and sparks ID

If you are using Finale Inventory for stock record keeping, you can synch the quantities in sales orders representing shows from Finale Inventory to the Quota column in Finale 3D for purpose of designing a show to match the pre-allocated inventory.  You can also go in the other direction, synching the quantities in the Used column of Finale 3D back up to Finale Inventory to modify the sales order quantities or add new effects to the sales order.  This article describes the synching process from end to end, illustrating the relationships between quantities in the Quota, QOH, Available, and Used columns in Finale 3D and how the state of the sales order in Finale Inventory pertains to them.   Beginning with a sales order in Finale Inventory All synch operations relating to effects used in a show require a sales order as the representation of the show in Finale Inventory.  Sometimes companies pre-allocate the inventory to a show and design the show to match the allocations; other times companies design the show with a global view of what inventory is available and then base the allocation on the design; still other times companies go back and forth, beginning with an allocation but making substitutions on either end.  No matter what direction your process goes, you need a sales order in Finale Inventory for the show.  If you are working entirely from the design, then create a sales order in Finale Inventory with nothing in it.  You'll fill it out when you update it from Finale 3D.   Figure 1 – Example sales order in Finale Inventory in "Editable" state with two assortment cases allocated for the show.   Figure 1 shows an example sales order in Finale Inventory with two assortment cases packed 72/1.  Figure 2 shows the stock levels in Finale Inventory, with details expanded out for the ASST-A Product ID representing the assortment.  Since the sales order in Figure 1 is in the "Editable" state, it does not yet create a reservation against the Available quantities.  The ASST-A quantities in the sales order have no bearing on the stock quantities at this moment.     Figure 2 – Stock quantities are not affected by the sales order because it is in "Editable" state.   The stock quantities shown in Finale 3D mirror the stock quantites in Finale Inventory.  Figure 3 shows the QOH and Available quantities in Finale 3D.  The only difference is that Finale 3D always counts in "eaches," which it calls devices, whereas Finale Inventory may count in eaches or cases.  Figure 2 shows the quantities of ASST-A in Finale Inventory broken out by cases and eaches separately.  The quantities in Finale 3D shown in Figure 3 convert the cases to eaches and show the totals: 500 eaches + 10 cases of 72 is 1220.   Figure 3 – Finale 3D always counts in eaches:  500 eaches + 10 cases of 72 is 1220.   If you are synching quantities pre-allocated for the show in the direction from Finale Inventory to Finale 3D, then the quantities in the sales order in Finale Inventory will be transferred to the Quota column in Finale 3D.  Unlike the QOH and Available quantities, which are global stock quantities, the Quota is associated with a particular show and will be saved in the ".fin" show file when you save it from Finale 3D. The Quota column shows up no matter what inventory collection you are viewing in the effect window, but the actual data is stored in the Per-show effects collection that is part of the show, and is only editable if you are viewing that collection.   Figure 4 – Updating quotas from the sales order splits out the 2 cases of ASST-A  into the constituents.   Figure 4 shows the Quota column in Finale 3D after doing the "File > Finale Inventory > Update quotas from sales order..." function.   Notice that the two cases of 72 assorted shells in the sales order are automatically split out into 36 of each of the effect types in the assortment, so you can design the show to match the allocation of each effect type instead of a generic total.  The mechanics of this conversion for assortments are described in Case and assortment quantities, and breaking apart assortments. Having updated the Quota column from the sales order, you are ready to design the show.  As you insert effects into the show, the Used column reflects the used quantities, and the color of the Quota column changes from green to white to red as you match and exceed the allocation.   For some types of shows you might choose to insert all the allocated effects into the show as batch with the "Script > Insert multiple effects" menu item.  An overview of the functions for arranging effects into a pleasant design after inserting them into the show as a batch is in the article, Scripting manual shows.   Beginning with a design in Finale 3D If you are synching entirely in the direction from the show design in Finale 3D to the sales order in Finale Inventory, then there's no reason for you to do the "File > Finale Inventory > Update quotas from sales order..." function.  Skip this step and jump directly into designing the show.   Figure 5 – The Used column in Finale 3D fills up as you add effects to the show.   The Used column shows the quantities as you build out the show.  The example show of Figure 5 includes three salute shells that were not in the original sales order.  It also includes one other special effect that happens not to be an inventory item and thus isn't visible in this view.  For inventory management, the assortment constituents in rows 6-9 are counted generically as ASST-A items.  In total, including the salutes, the special effect non-inventory item, and the ASST-A items aggregated together, there are three different Product IDs that will get transferred to Finale Inventory with the function, "File > Finale Inventory > Update sales order from used quantities...".   Figure 6 – Of the three items synched up to Finale Inventory, one is a non-inventory item that Finale Inventory doesn't recognize.   Figure 6 shows the confirmation dialog from the synch operation.  Finale Inventory doesn't have a Product ID matching the non-inventory item in the show, so the dialog mentions that it will appear as an "item note" on the sales order. Figure 7 shows the sales order in Finale Inventory after the update.  If you compare Figure 7 to the original state of the sales order in Figure 1, you can see that two lines have been added, one for the salutes that weren't in the initial allocation of inventory, and the other for the non-inventory item as an item note.  Also notice that the quantity of the assortment as been changed from cases to eaches, which happens as a consequence of the fact that Finale 3D always counts in eaches.  If you want that quantity to be in cases in Finale Inventory, you have to edit it manually in the sales order to convert it back.   Figure 7 – Finale 3D quantities are always eaches, so if you update the sales order from Finale 3D, the quantities will be in eaches.   The sales order must be in the "Editable" state in Finale Inventory for the "File > Finale Inventory > Update sales order from used quantities..." function to work.  While in the "Editable" state, the sales order does not hold a reservation of the effects against the Available quantities.  Thus the Available and QOH quantities in Finale Inventory are unchanged at this point from your show design.  Figure 2 would look the same.   Figure 8– Once you put the sales order in the "Committed" state, it holds a reservation against the Available quantities for its effects.   If you change the sales order state to "Committed" in Finale Inventory, as in Figure 8, its quantities will be deducted from the Available quantities shown in Figure 9.  The QOH remains unchanged.   Figure 9 – When the sales order is in the "Committed" state, its quantities are deducted from Available.   Figure 9 has expanded detail for the ASST-A product, which shows the calculation of the Available quantity.  In comparison to Figure 2 you can see the extra row at the bottom, subtracting the sales order's quantities from the Available.   Figure 10 – Shipping the sales order will remove the reservation and deduct quantities from QOH.   Shipping the sales order in Finale Inventory results in the quantities shown in Figure 10.  The sales order's reservation has been released and the quantities have been relieved from QOH.  The detail row at the bottom of Figure 9 representing the reservation is gone from Figure 10 because the order has been shipped.   Figure 11 – Synching with network in Finale 3D updates the QOH and Available from Finale Inventory.     To update the QOH and Available quantities in Finale 3D, repeat the function, "File > Sync with network".  Bearing in mind the conversion from cases to eaches, the quantities of Figure 10 are consistent with Figure 11.

Finale 3D always counts in eaches, which it calls devices, but inventory systems may be keeping track of stock in cases or assortments, so a conversion may need to take place.   For assortments, the conversion is more complicated, because the quantity of shells in an assortment needs to get broken down into the quantities of each kind of shell in the assortment, so you can design a show with the specific types of effects allocated. Finale 3D provides functions to make these conversions generally, no matter what inventory system you are using, and in some cases makes these conversions automatically if you are synching to Finale Inventory.  The first half of this article describes the general conversion functions.  The second half describes the conversions that occur when you synch with Finale Inventory.   Breaking apart assortments into constituents In Finale 3D, breaking apart an assortment into its constituents means converting the generic quantity allocated for the assortment into more specific quantities for constituents of the assortment.  The Quota column holds the allocated quantities for effects.  You can see in Figure 1 and Figure 2 that the 144 shells allocated generically to Assortment A were redistributed to the constituent effects of Assortment A -- the red, green, blue, and cyan peony shells.   Figure 1 – Before breaking apart assortments, the total quantity of shells is in the row representing the assortment itself (part number ASST-A in this case).   The function that does the break apart operation is "Effects > Break apart assortment quotas".  Before using this function, import the allocated quantities ("File > Import > Import quotas...") or synch the quantities from a Finale Inventory sale order ("Effects > Finale Inventory > Update quotas from sales order...").  Then do the break apart command to split up the quantities.  No matter what inventory collection you have selected in the effects window, the quantities shown in the Quota column are actually from the show itself, stored in the show's Per-show effects.  That's why you can't edit the quantities in the Quota column unless you switch to the Per-show effects collection.     Figure 2 – After breaking apart assortments, the quantity is re-distributed to the rows with "children" part numbers (ASST-A-01, ASST-A-02, etc. in this case).   The part number representing an assortment generically and the part numbers representing the assortment's constituents must begin with the same characters, as you can see in Figure 1 and Figure 2 (in this case, "ASST-A").  That's the only way the break apart operation knows what constituents belong to what assortment.  The rule is: a part number XYZ represents an assortment if the collection also contains part numbers of the form XYZ-1, XYZ-2, etc.  The break apart operation takes the total number of shells allocated to an assortment and divides it evenly among the constituents.  In the Figure 2 example, there are four constituents with the derivative part numbers, so the allocated quota of 144 shells is re-distributed to the four constituents, 36 in each. To use the break apart operation, you obviously need to define effects for the constituents themselves, and you need to have those effect definitions in the collection displayed in the effects window.  These constituent effects need to be defined so you can design a show with them, but they usually are not part of your stock record keeping.  In Finale Inventory or your inventory management system of record, they would be defined products but they would never have stock quantities.  The quantities would only exist in Finale 3D as you are designing the show.  Imagine the constituents all having stickers on them like you sometimes see on candy bars in a bulk package: "Not for individual sale!"   Inserting effects into the show based on quotas Finale 3D includes a variety of functions to script traditional manual shows quickly once you have the effects inserted into the show.  Beginning from a packing list imported with "File > Import > Import quotas..." or beginning from a sale order in Finale Inventory, you will have the quantities in the Quota column.  To insert those effects into the show in bulk, try the function, "Script > Insert multiple effects..." and choose the "All effects, by quota" option shown in Figure 3.   Figure 3 – The "Script > Insert multiple effects..." command has an option to insert everything into the show that has a quota.   You may choose to space the effects out with some time in between or to randomize them as they are inserted.  This insertion operation is not meant to give you a completed show.  It just gives you a starting point with all the effects in the show on the timeline, as shown in Figure 4.  From there, Finale 3D has functions to adjust the spacing and manipulate groups of effects, which you can use to mold the effects into a pleasant show design.  An overview of these functions is in Scripting manual shows.   Figure 4 – After inserting effects based on quota, the effects are all on the timeline, ready for you to arrange pleasantly.   Synching cases and assortments with Finale Inventory If you are using Finale Inventory for your inventory management record keeping, you can synch the quantities in sales orders representing shows from Finale Inventory to the Quota column in Finale 3D.  You can also go in the other direction, synching the quantities in the Used column of Finale 3D back up to Finale Inventory to modify the sales order quantity.  The synching details are described in Synching with sales orders in Finale Inventory. Whenever you synch between the sales orders in Finale Inventory and the quantities in Finale 3D, in either direction, a conversion may need to take place.   You may be keeping stock in Finale Inventory as cases or eaches.  Finale 3D only counts in eaches (devices).  Case quantities in Finale Inventory are always converted to eaches when synched to Finale 3D.  When synching in the other direction, however, eaches stay as eaches.  If you synch from Finale 3D to Finale Inventory and you want your Finale Inventory sale order quantities to be in cases, you have to edit the sales orders manually in Finale Inventory to convert the eaches back to cases. Converting eaches to cases manually is not a terrible burden, but converting the constituents of a broken apart assortment back to the assortment quantities would be a bigger deal.  Finale 3D offers a conversion function to do this conversion automatically in the synch operation, which you can turn on in the "My Account > Finale Inventory Settings" page on finale3d.com as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 – The "My Account > Finale Inventory Settings" page on finale3d.com has an option to break apart and recombine assortments when synching sales orders.   Figure 6 shows a sale order in Finale Inventory with quantity in cases packed 72/1.  After synching this sale order to Finale 3D with the break apart and recombine option on, Finale 3D would display a quota of 144 salutes, and 36 each of the four constituents of the Assortment A, adding up to the two assortment cases packed 72/1.   Figure 6 – A sale order in Finale Inventory can represent quantities as cases or eaches.   After designing the show in Finale 3D using the constituents of the assortment, if you synch back to the sale order in Finale Inventory you will get the quantities shown in Figure 7.  They'll be in eaches since they are coming from Finale 3D, but the constituent quantities have been recombined back into the assortment quantity.   Figure 7 – Finale 3D quantities are always eaches so if you update the sale order in Finale Inventory from Finale 3D, the quantities will come back in eaches.   Format of packing string Both Finale Inventory and Finale 3D interpret packing strings following the same rule: the quantity in eaches is the first readable number in the packing string.  Thus, according to this rule, the packing string 9/1 has the same number of eaches as the packing string 9/4/1 or 9/4 or just 9.  In all cases, the first number is the number of eaches.

The Showven Sparkular, Standard Fixture ID 014, is a vertical sparks machine that can be controlled by any of the DMX-capable firing systems, such as Piroshow, Pyromac, PyroSure, fireTEK, Cobra, and Mongoose.   It generates spark fountains approximately 3-5 meters high, with variable height specified in the DMX signal. The Sparkular Cyclone, Standard Fixture ID 015, is a more powerful sparks machine from the same manufacturer that generates sparks as high as 10 meters.   Figure 1 – Showven Sparkular   The Sparkular has 10 height levels ("gears").  The Showven supplier catalog of effects in Finale 3D contains Sparkular effects for a range of durations and three heights (small, medium, and large).  You can create your own custom duration or height effects as described below. The Sparkuler has a two-channel DMX personality.   The first channel turns the sparks fountain on and specifies the height.  The second channel turns the "Pre-Heat" mode on.  In Finale 3D, Sparkular "Sparks" effects will control the first channel.  The Sparkular "Pre-Heat" effects will control the second channel. You do not need the "DMX Pre-Heat" effect if you are operating your Sparkular in "Automatic" mode, which heats up automatically when you turn the machine on.  You only need the "DMX Pre-Heat" effect if you are operating your Sparkular in "Manual" mode, in which case you use the "DMX Pre-Heat" effect to turn on the heater during specific periods of activity.   Table 1 – DMX channels DMX Channel Meaning Effect in Finale 3D that controls channel Channel 1 (DMX Channel Base + 0) Sparks off (0 = OFF) or on at varying height (255 = max) Part numbers SHV3000 - SHV3017 representing spark fountain effects with small, medium, large height at durations from 0.1s to 1s Channel 2 (DMX Channel Base + 1) Pre-heat on (255 = ON).  You can ignore this channel if you are operating your Sparkular in "Automatic" mode.

Instructions To design a show for Showven Sparkular units, please follow these steps:  Set up.  (A) Follow the flame set up instructions in the Flame systems basic instructions and Exporting a firing system script for flame systems.  Depending on your DMX controller, you may choose to give each Sparkular its own DMX universe, or give each Sparkular a channel range in a shared DMX universe.  (B) In the real world configure each physical Sparkular unit's "Start Address" to be the start of the channel range you allocate for it. (C) In Finale 3D configure the "DMX Channel Base" of the fixture to match the Start Address exactly. Add the Showven supplier catalog to your Finale 3D account.  Login to the finale3d.com website.  At the top of the page, go to “My Account > Supplier Catalog Settings” (www.finale3d.com/supplier-catalogs-settings/).  Find the Showven supplier catalog in the table, and turn the switch to ON.  Then launch the Finale 3D application and synch to network.  The Showven catalog will appear as one of the available collections in the effects window, which you can choose from the selector at the top of the window.  This catalog contains effects for all types of Showven fixtures currently supported in Finale 3D, together. Add spark fountain effects to the show.  (A) Right-click on the Sparkular positions to add compatible effects from the context menu or to filter the effects window to compatible effects.   Although the catalog contains effects with short durations, you should choose effect durations that work well for your fixtures, or you should adjust the durations of the effects on the timeline after inserting them.  Common Sparkular fixtures work best with durations of at least two seconds.  (B)  If you are operating your Sparkular in "Manual" mode, then you also need to add a "With DMX Pre-Heat / Safety Channel" effect (e.g., part number SHV3018) and to adjust its duration to cover the time range you want the pre-heat mode ON; you do not need "With DMX Pre-Heat / Safety Channel" effects in "Automatic" mode.   Choosing the DMX channel ranges for fixtures Each Sparkular fixture requires two channels, so if you are putting multiple fixtures in the same DMX Universe, you need to set the Start Address on the fixture in the real world and the corresponding DMX Channel Base on the fixture in Finale 3D to a range of channels that doesn't overlap with others.  A DMX universe has channels 1-512.  If you want to pack as many fixtures into the 512 channels of a DMX universe as you can, back-to-back ranges are the most efficient.  Some DMX firing systems only support 50 or 100 channels, so you may not have all 512 channels to work with.   Table 2 – Example channel ranges for Sparkular fixtures in a DMX universe Fixture DMX Channel Base Channels Used 1 1 1-2 2 3 3-4 3 5 5-6 4 7 7-8 5 9 9-10 6 11 11-12 7 13 13-14 8 15 15-16 9 17 17-18 10 19 19-20 ... 256 511 511-512   Table 3 – Example files and downloads Download link Explanation sparkular-user-manual.pdf Showven Sparkular user manual sparkular-cyclone-user-manual Showven Sparkular Cyclone user manual

Add flame effects to the show.  Right-click on the Spray The Fire positions to add compatible effects from the context menu or to filter the effects window to compatible effects. Make your own, or modify existing flame effects.  The Spray The Fire effects come in a few example durations in Generic Effects, but you can also create your own variations that have arbitrary durations.  (A) First copy the original effect by selecting the effect row in the Generic Effects, then right-click copy (or control-C).  (B) Then paste into your My Effects or any of your other effects collections.  (C) After copying it to your own inventory, you can modify its parameters.  Simply edit the duration field to change its duration.  The 3D simulation and the DMX Patch will automatically incorporate your change.  You can also adjust the height field to change the height of the flame simulation, though doing so has no bearing on the exported DMX script.   Choosing the DMX channel ranges for fixtures Each Spray The Fire fixture requires two channels, so if you are putting multiple fixtures in the same DMX Universe, you need to set the Start Address on the fixture in the real world and the corresponding DMX Channel Base on the fixture in Finale 3D to a range of channels that doesn't overlap with others.  A DMX universe has channels 1-512.  If you want to pack as many fixtures into the 512 channels of a DMX universe as you can, back-to-back ranges are the most efficient.  Some DMX firing systems only support 50 or 100 channels, so you may not have all 512 channels to work with.   Table 2 – Example channel ranges for Spray The Fire fixtures in a DMX universe Fixture DMX Channel Base Channels Used 1 1 1-2 2 3 3-4 3 5 5-6 4 7 7-8 5 9 9-10 6 11 11-12 7 13 13-14 8 15 15-16 9 17 17-18 10 19 19-20 ... 256 511 511-512   Table 3 – Example files and downloads Download link Explanation spray-the-fire-user-manual Spray The Fire user manual

The Showven uFlamer unit is a vertical flame projector that can be controlled by any of the DMX-capable firing systems, such as Piroshow, Pyromac, PyroSure, fireTEK, Cobra, and Mongoose.   Figure 1 – Showven uFlamer   Triggering a flame effect requires two DMX channels -- an ON/OFF ignition channel and a compression/safety channel.  Both channels are contained in the DMX personality of the fixture at defined offsets relative to the DMX Channel Base of the fixture.  The fixture has three different DMX personality configuration options, 2CH-P, 6CH, and 2CH-N, to support master/slave compatibility with other fixture types.  In Finale 3D you will select which DMX personality configuration you want as you configure the position/fixture.  At any time you can change the personality configuration with the menu item, "Change DMX fixture and convert effects" from the right-click menu on the fixture.  If you do not care about master/slave compatibility with other types of fixtures, just use the default channel mode, 2CH-P, which is the simplest.   Table 1 – DMX personality choices DMX personality ("DMX Channel Mode") Compatible with 2CH-P No other fixture types 6CH Showven Circle Flamer 2CH-N Showven Sparkular   The Showven uFlamer DMX personalities include the safety channel within the range of firing channels in the personality, so there is no need in Finale 3D to create separate "safety positions".  you can add the safety channel effects directly to your flame positions.   Table 2 – DMX channels for 2CH-P personality DMX Channel Meaning Effect in Finale 3D that controls channel Channel 1 (DMX Channel Base + 0) Ignition (1 - 110 = OFF; 11- 255 = ON) Part numbers SHV2000 - SHV2017 representing flame effects with small, medium, large height at durations from 0.1s to 1s.  The varying heights are only reflected in the visual simulation, no change in the DMX channel values since the uFlamer does not have dynamic height settings.

The Spark Fabrica Tornado Flamer unit is a flame projector with a single nozzle that can rotate and fire flame bursts or continuous wave under programmable control, similar to the Explo X2 Wave Flamer.   The unit can be controlled by any of the DMX-capable firing systems, such as Piroshow, Pyromac, PyroSure, fireTEK, Cobra, and Mongoose. Figure 1 – Spark Fabrica Tornado Flamer     In addition to the 89 pre-defined flame effect "macros" (e.g. part number SPF1031 in the Finale 3D supplier catalog for Spark Fabrica macro #31), you can trigger flame shots at arbitrary angles and for arbitrary durations.   To do so, insert the "rotatable" flame effects in Finale 3D (e.g., part number SPF1174 in the Finale 3D supplier catalog for Spark Fabrica) the same way you insert the flame effect macros, by right-clicking on a fixture and doing the menu item, "Add compatible DMX effect".  After inserting rotatable flame effects, adjust the angles of the effects interactively by dragging their trajectories in the 3D view or by doing scripting commands like "Fan" to make interesting patterns of angles.   Finale 3D will incorporate your adjusted angles in the exported DMX script. Exported DMX scripts will contain multiple DMX channel values for controlling the characteristics of a single effect (angle, on/off, speed, etc.) at various times, taking into consideration the preparation time ("drive time") for the nozzle to rotate to the desired angle before a flame shot is triggered, which is analogous to moving in black (MIB) for lighting fixtures.  Finale 3D automatically adds the all the necessary DMX commands, so designing a flame show for DMX simply involves adding flame effects from the effects window, and optionally angling the effects interactively, or putting them into sequences or fans using scripting functions like "Fan" or "Make into sequence".   Instructions for DMX firing systems To design a show for Spark Fabrica Tornado Flamer units, please follow these steps: Set up.  (A) Follow the flame set up instructions in the Flame systems basic instructions and Exporting a firing system script for flame systems.  (B) In the real world, configure each fixture's "Start Address" to be exactly the first channel in the DMX channel range (older versions of Finale 3D required subtracting 1 on the DMX Channel Base, but that is no longer correct; the DMX Channel Base should match the Start Address exactly). Add the Spark Fabrica supplier catalog to your Finale 3D account.  Login to the finale3d.com website.  At the top of the page, go to "My Account > Supplier Catalog Settings" (https://finale3d.com/supplier-catalogs-settings/).  Find the Spark Fabrica supplier catalog in the table, and turn the switch to ON.  Then launch the Finale 3D application and synch to network.  The Spark Fabrica catalog will appear as one of the available collections in the effects window, which you can choose from the selector at the top of the window.  This catalog contains effects for all types of Spark Fabrica fixtures currently supported in Finale 3D, together. Add flame effects to the show.  (A) Right-click on the DMX Fixture positions representing the Spark Fabrica Tornado Flamers to add compatible effects from the context menu or to filter the effects window to compatible effects.  There are about 90, beginning with part number SPF1001.  (B) In addition to the 89 effect macros, there are a few rotatable effects beginning with part number SPF1170.  You will also need the "DMX Safety Channel" effect (SPF1188) and to adjust its duration to cover the time the Circle Flamer should be eligible to fire. Design the show.  If you insert rotatable effects, you can drag the tops of their trajectories in the 3D view to set their angle, and you can select groups of them and do functions like "Fan" to create interesting patterns.  Of course, you can select groups of any of the effects and do functions like "Sequence" to make interesting timing patterns; the timing patterns look particularly good with the effect macros.   Choosing the DMX channel ranges for fixtures Each Tornado Flamer fixture requires six channels, so if you are putting multiple fixtures in the same DMX Universe, you need to set the Start Address on the fixture in the real world and the corresponding DMX Channel Base on the fixture in Finale 3D to a range of channels that doesn't overlap with others.  A DMX universe has channels 1-512.  If you want to pack as many fixtures into the 512 channels of a DMX universe as you can, back-to-back ranges are the most efficient.  Some DMX firing systems only support 50 or 100 channels, so you may not have all 512 channels to work with.   Table 1 – Example channel ranges for Tornado Flamer fixtures in a DMX universe Fixture DMX Channel Base Channels Used 1 1 1-6 2 7 7-12 3 13 13-18 4 19 19-24 5 25 25-30 6 31 31-36 7 37 37-42 8 43 43-48 9 49 49-54 10 55 55-60 ... 85 505 505-510     DMX channels The Tornado Flamer unit can be configured with a "Start Address" from 1 to 507.  The flame unit listens to the six DMX channels beginning from the Start Address, i.e., Start Address + 0, Start Address + 1, ..., Start Address + 5.  The six DMX channels are,   Table 2 – DMX channels DMX Channel Meaning Effect in Finale 3D that controls channel Channel 1 (DMX Channel Base + 0) Angle (127.5 + angle * 1.2143) Part numbers SPF1001 - SPF1089 representing various "macros" and SPF1170 - SPF1187 representing rotatable flame effects that can be adjusted by dragging the trajectories in the Finale 3D user interface Channel 2 (DMX Channel Base + 1) Speed (255 = max) Part numbers SPF1001 - SPF1089 representing various "macros" and SPF1170 - SPF1187 representing rotatable flame effects that can be adjusted by dragging the trajectories in the Finale 3D user interface Channel 3 (DMX Channel Base + 2) Ignition (254-255 = ON) Part numbers SPF1001 - SPF1089 representing various "macros" and SPF1170 - SPF1187 representing rotatable flame effects that can be adjusted by dragging the trajectories in the Finale 3D user interface Channel 4 (DMX Channel Base + 3) Open time (255 = permanent, 0-254 = N*10ms) Part numbers SPF1001 - SPF1089 representing various "macros" and SPF1170 - SPF1187 representing rotatable flame effects that can be adjusted by dragging the trajectories in the Finale 3D user interface Channel 5 (DMX Channel Base + 4) Program (2 + program number * 255/100) Part numbers SPF1001 - SPF1089 representing various "macros" and SPF1170 - SPF1187 representing rotatable flame effects that can be adjusted by dragging the trajectories in the Finale 3D user interface Channel 6 (DMX Channel Base + 5) Safety channel (0-49 = OFF, 50-200 = ON, 201-255 = OFF) Part number SPF1188, "Tornado Flamer [010/0000] DMX Safety Channel"   Speed parameter calculation The Move-To effect uses the speed parameter (DMX Channel Base + 1) to set the speed of the rotation sweep.  The DMX Patch of this effect calculates the speed parameter based on the number of degrees moved and the time between the Move-To effect and the previous effect (usually a Move-In-Black effect or another Move-To effect).  The DMX Patch limits the exported speed values to the range of values known to work reliably: 25..128.  Please see Move-In-Black (MIB) and Move-To for further instructions.   Table 3 – Example files and downloads Download link Explanation spark-fabrica-moving-head-flamer-user-manual.pdf User manual / documentation

It is obvious just from looking at them that racks with adjustable tube angles must not be configured with their tubes angling at each other.   Since the addressing operation in Finale 3D assigns effects to rack tubes, it is the addressing operation itself that ultimately determines the angles of the tubes of adjustable angle racks, by virtue of the effect angles assigned to them.  Thus, if you are using adjustable tube angle racks you must take care in the addressing operation to ensure the angles will not collide. Figure 1 – Before and after rearrangement.  The right image has no collisions (and a nice pin order).   If you check the "Rearrange effects in adjustable angle racks to avoid collisions" checkbox on the addressing dialog shown in Figure 2, then after the tubes are assigned in the original phase of the addressing operation, a second phase will rearrange the effects within each adjustable angle rack to avoid collisions.   Since the rearrangements only occur within the confines of the racks, they will not violate any of the addressing constraints in the addressing dialog.  For example, if you restrict racks to a single module, the rearrangements within any rack wouldn't have any effect on that.  The rearrangement will take into consideration any tube angles or tube angle ranges that are set in the definition of the rack.  For example, if you've defined a rack to have the rack structure "Single-shot rack, adjustable fan angles of tubes within each row", and if you've specified some of the tube angles or tube angle ranges in the rows (see Tube angle range constraints), then the rearrangement will only move effects to tubes permitting the angles of the effects.   Figure 2 – The "Rearrange effects" checkbox is the easiest way to avoid collisions.  Just check the box, that's all you need to do.   Optimizations In addition to eliminating tube collisions, which is a guarantee, the "Rearrange effects" function renumbers the pins and optimizes the rearrangement for symmetry, balance, aesthetics, and ease of loading.  These secondary optimizations are not guarantees but they are a nice fringe benefit of the function.  The optimizations in order of priority are, No angle collisions or angle range violations No pin sequence gaps No shooting over empty holders Symmetry of angles and pins Balance Referring back to Figure 1, the renumbered pin sequences work from the outside toward the center if the rack uses multiple modules.   Limitations The "Rearrange effects" option only works on non-cake racks of these three rack structures: Fully adjustable tube angles Tiltable row angles Fannable tube angles in each row Additional limitations apply if the rack shares pins or modules with other racks, or if the rack contains locked addresses, or if the rack has a usable length limit on the rows, or rows with different numbers of tubes, or multiple tube sizes.   The full list of limitations is in Table 1. Please ensure that your racks are oriented in the layout in such a way that their tubes can be angled in the directions of the effects.  Tiltable row racks need to be oriented with their rows vertical in the layout if the effect angles are side to side so the fans are perpendicular to the rows, to enable the rows to tilt for the fan angles.  Fannable tube angle racks need to be oriented with their rows horizontal in the layout if the effects are side to side so the rows are parallel to the fans.  Fully adjustable tube angle racks could be oriented with their rows vertical or horizontal for side to side effect angles, but if they have a usable length limit then they must be oriented with their rows horizontal because the usable length limit restricts the rearrangement to apply within each row instead of globally.   Table 1 – Limitations of rearrangement for racks based on their rack structure Rack structure Locked effects or non-existent addresses Shared pins w/ other cake racks Usable length limit; multiple row sizes; or multiple tube sizes Shared pins w/ other pre-wired pin racks or non-cake racks Shared rails w/ other non-cake racks Single-shot rack, fully adjustable tube angles EXCEPTIONS: locked effects neither moved nor renumbered OK REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY: rearranges within each row instead of globally; DISABLED if rows not parallel to fans EXCEPTIONS: these effects can be moved  but cannot be renumbered EXCEPTIONS: avoids renumbering effects to pin numbers that are used in other non-cake racks Single-shot rack, fannable tube angles in each row EXCEPTIONS: locked effects neither moved nor renumbered OK REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY: rearranges within each row instead of globally; DISABLED if rows not parallel to fans EXCEPTIONS: these effects can be moved  but cannot be renumbered EXCEPTIONS: avoids renumbering effects to pin numbers that are used in other non-cake racks Single-shot rack, tiltable rows DISABLED if any locked effects OK OK EXCEPTIONS: these effects can be moved  but cannot be renumbered EXCEPTIONS: avoids renumbering effects to pin numbers that are used in other non-cake racks Candle rack, fully adjustable tube angles EXCEPTIONS: locked effects neither moved nor renumbered OK REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY: rearranges within each row instead of globally; DISABLED if rows not parallel to fans EXCEPTIONS: these effects can be moved  but cannot be renumbered EXCEPTIONS: avoids renumbering effects to pin numbers that are used in other non-cake racks Pre-wired single-shot rack, tiltable rows DISABLED if any locked effects or any holders pre-wired to non-existent addresses, e.g.,  a 35 holder rack with a 32 pin module OK OK DISABLED if any DISABLED if any row contains empty holders pre-wired to pins that are used in other non-cake racks Pre-wired single-shot rack, fannable tube angles in each row DISABLED if any locked effects DISABLED if any REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY: rearranges within each row instead of globally; DISABLED if rows not parallel to fans DISABLED if any EXCEPTIONS: cannot move effects into empty holders pre-wired to pins that are used in other non-cake racks Pre-wired single-shot rack, fully adjustable tube angles DISABLED if any locked effects DISABLED if any REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY: rearranges within each row instead of globally; DISABLED if rows not parallel to fans DISABLED if any EXCEPTIONS: cannot move effects into empty holders pre-wired to pins that are used in other non-cake racks Pre-wired candle rack, fully adjustable tube angles DISABLED if any locked effects DISABLED if any REDUCED FUNCTIONALITY: rearranges within each row instead of globally; DISABLED if rows not parallel to fans DISABLED if any EXCEPTIONS: cannot move effects into empty holders pre-wired to pins that are used in other non-cake racks Single-shot rack, fixed tube angles (pre-wired or not) DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED Single-shot rack, fully adjustable posts (all kinds, pre-wired or not) DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED Mortar rack (pre-wired or not) DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED Cake rack (all kinds, pre-wired or not) DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED DISABLED   Loading order Rearrangement obviously depends on what effects are in the rack, but it does not depend on their initial arrangement. The rack's loading order determines which corner the pin number sequence starts with.  If the rack uses multiple modules, the list is shown in the order the modules are encountered when traversing the tubes in the loading order.   Figure 3 – The two modules A0 and A1 used in this rack are listed with A0 first since it is the first to occur in the loading order.   The 30 tube rack in Figure 3 uses the first 15 pins of two modules.  You can tell from the colors of the numbers that the pins in the upper left 0, 1, 2, ... are associated with module A0, but if the colors are too close to tell apart you rely on the logic that the first module in the list (A0 in this case) is the first module encountered in the loading order.  

To create and export a script for the Mongoose firing system, please follow these three steps: Design the show. Address the show ("Addressing > Address show"). Export the script ("File > Export > Export firing scripts"). Step 3 creates the script file, which is a CSV file that you can import into your firing system.   Figure 1 – The Mongoose firing system   The CSV is a human-readable text file that contains the essential information for a firing system controller to fire the show, in addition to some meta-information ("Event ID" and "Group ID") that may facilitate optimization on the controller.  The CSV is comma delimited, using standard Excel-style double quote field wrapping as necessary, e.g., a field containing the caliber 3" is represented as "3""" .   Table 1 – File format and encoding File format Extension Text encoding Field delimiter End-of-line Text MIF UTF-8, no BOM Comma CRLF  The first row in the CSV file is the header row, indicating the names of the delimited fields.  The data rows follow. The special characteristics of the script are shown in the following table:   Table 2 – Special characteristics Special characteristics Description Sort order of rows Loosely speaking, rows are sorted chronologically, but the sort order is affected by Track values if present.  More precisely, rows are grouped by their Track values if they have Track values or by common event time (ignition time) if they do not have Track values.   The resulting groups are sorted relative to each other by their earliest row effect time (effect time, not event time), and the rows within the groups are sorted by their event times.  Thus if there are no Track values, the rows are simply sorted by their event times. What rows represent Each row identifies a unique firing pin ignition (i.e., unique module number, pin address, ignition time), or a DMX command.  If the "DMX Control" field is blank, the row is a firing pin ignition; otherwise the row is a DMX Command and the DMX Control field is an integer identifying what kind of command. Module types Finale 3D supports both 48 and 24 pin module types, with DMX and non-DMX options.  The 48 pin module type also has a variation that splits the contiguous 48 pins into two slats of 24 pins, A and B.  For this option, the Rail Address in Finale 3D includes both a module number and a slat letter (A or B), with pin numbers relative to the slat.  In the exported script, however, the slat-relative pins (1-24) are converted back to module-relative pins (1-48), and only the module number ("Logical ID") is included. mon_48shot - (48 pins) mon_48shot_dmx - (48 pins + DMX) mon_2x24shot - (2 slats of 24 pins) mon_2x24shot_dmx - (2 slats of 24 pins + DMX) mon_8x6shot - (8 slats of 6 shots) mon_8x6shot_dmx - (6 shots + DMX) Special characters Fields include any Unicode characters except tab and newline and other control characters.  Excel-style CSV double quoting is used for double quote and comma within field text. Hazard groups The purpose of hazard groups is to enable the user to disable sections of the show in real time based on evolving conditions as the show progresses, such as wind direction or a detonation in a rack.  In Finale 3D, a user can tag events in the script as members of hazard groups.  The tags are represented in the "Effect Lockout" field of the exported script. Tracks Tracks identify a sequence of events that can be triggered in real time by pressing a button on the controller.  A Track value can be any string of characters.  Events that have the same Track value are said to be in the same track.  A show can contain multiple tracks, and can contain gaps between the tracks (i.e., rows without Track values).  A show can begin with a track, or not.  The only restriction with tracks is that they are not interwoven, with events from one track before and after events from another track or gap. Tracks also affect optimizations in DMX scripts by creating boundaries.  DMX scripts are optimized to remove redundant rows that set a channel value that was already set by a previous row, but this optimization only applies within tracks or gaps.  A row that would be redundant on account of a previous row may not be redundant if the previous row is in a different track or gap.  Each track in a script can only rely on its own rows so tracks can be triggered independently. Meta-data for optimization The MIF script format includes "Event ID" and "Group ID" to facilitate optimization.  The Event ID field is a unique integer identifying the script row in Finale 3D that is responsible for the generating the script row in the exported MIF script.  For pyro, each script row in Finale 3D corresponds to a single script row in the MIF script, one to one, so the Event ID is not useful for optimizing pyro.  But for DMX commands, a single script row in Finale 3D can correspond to multiple MIF rows.  The Event ID may make it possible to recognize re-used groups of MIF rows and to encode them as a multi-cue on the Mongoose system for efficiency. The Group ID field is a unique integer identifying a group of effects in Finale 3D (Use "Script > Groups > Combine as group..." or press the G key to create groups).  Like the Event ID field, the Group ID field identifies a group of MIF rows that may be duplicated multiple times in the MIF script, and thus may be a candidate for optimization by representing them as multi-cues.  Each group instance in Finale 3D has its own Group ID.  If a group in Finale 3D is duplicated, the original group and its duplicate will have different Group  IDs.  Thus the optimization requires identifying groups with different Group IDs that have identical rows with respect to the information stored in the multi-cue. Each script row has the fields shown in Table 3.   Table 3 – Specifications of script fields Field name Description Cue The cue count, beginning with one and incrementing at each new ignition time or at each new track group of effects.  The cue count does not increment within a track group of effects even if the effects in the track group have different ignition times. Event Time The exact time of the firing system's "ignition event" (application of a voltage to a pin) that ignites e-matches or triggers a sequencer that ultimately leads to the ignition of effects. Format is HH:MM:SS.DDD. Prefire The delay from the ignition time to the perceived visual effect.  This delay typically includes the lift time (for shells) plus any fuse time between the ignition time and the first launch of the effect.  Format is in seconds with two digits after the decimal point. Effect Time The time of the first visual effect triggered by the firing system's ignition event, which is generally the break time for shells, and just a small delay or no delay after the event time for ground effects. Format is HH:MM:SS.DDD. Duration For pyro, the duration represents the lifetime of the perceived visual effect, which is usually interpreted for shells as the time from break to dissipation of the stars.    For DMX commands, the duration is either blank, indicating the DMX Start Value should be held indefinitely or until interrupted by another DMX command; or the duration is a time duration, indicating the DMX Start Value should be held for that duration and then changed to the DMX End Value at the end of the duration, or ramped linearly over the duration period from the DMX Start Value to the DMX End Value.  The selected behavior is based on the DMX Control field (see below).   The format of this field is seconds with two digits after the decimal point. Device Count The number of devices (shells) represented by the row.  May be more than one in the case of chains or multiple e-matches connected to the same firing system pin.  The device count is zero for DMX commands. Match Count The number of e-matches required for the row.  The match count is zero for DMX commands. Description The name of the effect.  For DMX events, the description also includes the specific DMX parameter name and offset, such as the phrase following the double slash in this description field for the ignition channel of a one second flame effect:  "SVUFLM2P [011/0017] One Sec Flame // Ignition (+0)" Size The device caliber.  Format is either a number followed by double-quote for inches or "mm" for millimeters, or the string "NA" or blank for effects for which the caliber term is not applicable.  The size field is blank for DMX commands. Category The category field of the effect definition in Finale 3D, as defined in the effects window.  Categories can be any text string the user chooses in Finale 3D. Type The type of effect, as defined in the effects window.  The type value can only be one of the pre-defined, enumerated types defined here: Why is ‘Type’ so important? What depends on it?. Position The name of the launch position. Module Type The module type, as described in Table 2. Logical ID The module number.  The Logical ID also represents the DMX universe.  Please see the discussion of module types in Table 2. Pin Number The pin number, starting with 1.  Please see the discussion of module types in Table 2. Angle An ASCII art representation of the angles of the devices on this shot, made with backslash, vertical line, and forward slash characters. Effect Lockout An identifier for disabling sections of the show in real time during performance.  The value of this field is filled from the Hazard field of Finale 3D and can be any text string. Notes Firing notes from the script pertaining to this row. Part Number The part number of the effect. Track A user-defined identifier for a section of the show, taken from the Track field in Finale 3D. Event ID A unique number identifying the row in the Finale 3D script that is responsible for this row in the MIF script.  See discussion in Table 2. Group ID A unique number identifying effects in a group in Finale 3D.  See discussion in Table 2. DMX Control This field applies only to DMX commands, and is blank for pyro ignitions.  For DMX commands, the DMX Control field is a number 1-3 indicating the interpretation of the duration field as follows: 1 - DmxControlSetStartAndHoldForever 2 - DmxControlSetStartAndChangeToEndAfterDuration 3 - DmxControlSetStartAndRampToEndOverDuration (not yet implemented as of Feb 27, 2021) DMX Channel Base For DMX commands, this field holds the DMX Channel Base of the fixture to which the DMX command applies.  This field is blank for pyro. DMX Channel Offset For DMX commands, this field holds the offset from the DMX Channel Base of the DMX command.   The effective DMX Channel of the command is DMX Channel Base + DMX Channel Offset.  This field is blank for pyro. DMX Start Value For DMX commands, this field holds the start value (0-255) for the command, as controlled by the DMX Control field.  This field is blank for pyro. DMX End Value For DMX commands, this field holds the end value (0-255) for the command, as controlled by the DMX Control field.  This field is blank for pyro.   The example script below combines pyro and DMX commands, as you can see on the timeline of Figure 2. Figure 2 – Example show   The yellow bars on the left of the timeline are groups of three flame shots on the Explo X2 Wave Flamer.  The first red bar is a group of 10 pyro effects.   The stack of red
